Guatemala: Aquí no hay RIAA

In a popular internet café in Antigua, Guatemala, a loyal perrito waits while his owner downloads some Daddy Yankee MP3s from illicit filesharing networks. You can sip delicious café cortaditos and lattes here, and there's a big "BURN CDS!" sign on the wall next to the international VOIP calling rates. I peeked over this man's shoulder to see what app he was using. It seems that he either works at the cafe, or he's a local resident. He searched for different recording artists on Google, and then, if I'm not mistaken, he switched to some Windows-based file indexing app. Like iTunes but not iTunes. I'm not entirely sure what was going on, but I think there's some kind of motherlode of shared songs at this café that can be burned to CDs for tune-sick travelers to enjoy on the road.
